Here’s one for the kids! The Walt at Fault cast matches up pretty nicely with the Dennis the Menace gang–Ben as Henry (Benry!), Juliet as Alice, and Tom (Mr. Friendly!) as grumpy old Mr. Wilson. Some original Walt at Fault strips are in the works, but it’s a kick to riff on Ketcham’s gags.
This particular episode evolved from a Dennis the Menace daily that originally ran in newspapers on 05/18/1954.
When Michael started building the raft I seriously hated the idea. I thought it was ridiculous for a number of reasons. Not only do we know that it won’t work, but Michael would be taking Walt away from the island–one of the most mysterious characters. And then there’s Jin and Sawyer. Sawyer! My favorite character leaving the island? Baloney!! Sure, let Michael go. He causes collateral damage wherever he goes!
Then what makes this a favorite moment? The music. Giacchino’s “Parting Words” composition is amazing. AY-MAY-ZING! It gives me goosebumps, my chest tightens, and I get all teary. What a sissy right? Whatever! I’ve seen Sawyer cry and he’s a tough guy cowboy! So thanks to Giacchino I love that stupid raft.
Oh Walt, here you go freaking out adults again. This comic is inspired by an old Dennis the Menace daily by Hank Ketcham from 09/10/1953. I’m a big fan of the old Ketcham Dennis the Menace strips. Thank goodness for Fantagraphics and their wonderful Dennis the Menace reprint collections!
After re-watching the LOST “Room 23″ mobisode I thought it would be funny to turn Walt into a little Dennis terrorizing the Others. I’m certain Walt raised a ruckus over in Dharmaville and on Hydra Island. The Others seemed pretty eager to get rid of him. Poor kid. He gets kicked out everywhere he goes!
I really like Dr. Leslie Arzt. I do. But the guy has some weird stuff going on. He’s had 3 failed marriages. He flies to Sydney to meet his internet girlfriend for the first time. A 14+ hour flight! Only she is repulsed by him because he sent her photos of another guy and said it was him. So she runs away and he catches a ride home on Oceanic 815. Now he’s stranded on a tropical island and surrounded by all these super pretty ladies. What else is a brilliant but lonely scientist to do? Wipe out the competition, that’s what!
I wanted something fun to think about every time we do a rewatch and we hit that season 2 patch of previously’s where Michael just screams at us. I think this will do the trick.
Once again Hurley echoes our own sentiments and Desmond shows up because I really just had to draw some Desmond.
